Discussions
- The order of properties on Wikidata is governed by MediaWiki/Wikibase-SortedProperties. We propose moving (P2559) Wikidata usage instructions to the top, so important guidance is more visible and less likely to be overlooked. To comment on this change, please visit MediaWiki_talk#prominently displaying (P2559).
- Closed request for comments: 19 RfC's were closed recently, too many to list here. Please see the RfC page for more information.

Tool of the week
- Cradle-gadget is a tool by User:DanielyepezgarcesThis is an interactive, schema-based form editor that works directly within Wikidata item pages. It allows users to check, view, add, modify, or delete claims in a modern sidebar drawer or a dedicated special page, aligned with the Wikimedia design guidelines. This is the easiest way to exploit the benefits of Wikidata entity schemas, powered by ShEx.
